# FileTrigger

<PageDescription>{docs.exports.FileTrigger.description}</PageDescription>

<HeaderInfo
  packageData={packageData}
  componentNames={['FileTrigger']}
  since="3.35.0" />

## Example

```tsx example
import {FileTrigger, Button} from '@adobe/react-spectrum';

function Example(){
  let [file, setFile] = React.useState(null);

  return (
    <>
      <FileTrigger
        onSelect={(e) => {
          let files = Array.from(e);
          let filenames = files.map((file) => file.name);
          setFile(filenames);
        }}>
        <Button variant="accent">Select a file</Button>
      </FileTrigger>
      {file && file}
    </>
  )
}
```

## Content

A `FileTrigger` wraps around a pressable child such as a button, and includes a visually hidden input element that allows the user to select files from their device.

```tsx
import {FileTrigger, Button} from '@adobe/react-spectrum';

<FileTrigger>
  <Button />
</FileTrigger>
```

If a visual label is not provided on the pressable child, then an `aria-label` or `aria-labelledby` prop must be passed to identify the file trigger to assistive technology.

## Accepted file types

By default, the file trigger will accept any file type. To support only certain file types, pass an array of the [mime type](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Basics_of_HTTP/MIME_types/Common_types) of files via the `acceptedFileTypes` prop.

```tsx example
<FileTrigger acceptedFileTypes={['image/png']}>
  <Button variant="primary">Select files</Button>
</FileTrigger>
```

## Multiple files

A file trigger can accept multiple files by passing the `allowsMultiple` property.

```tsx example
<FileTrigger allowsMultiple>
  <Button variant="primary">Upload your files</Button>
</FileTrigger>
```

## Directory selection

To enable selecting directories instead of files, use the `acceptDirectory` property.

This reflects the [webkitdirectory](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLInputElement/webkitdirectory) HTML attribute and allows users to select directories and their contents. Please note that support for this feature varies from browser to browser.


```tsx example
function Example () {
  let [files, setFiles] = React.useState([]);

  return (
    <>
      <FileTrigger
        acceptDirectory
        onSelect={(e) => {
          if (e) {
            let fileList = [...e].map(file => file.webkitRelativePath !== "" ? file.webkitRelativePath : file.name);
            setFiles(fileList);
          }
        }} >
        <Button variant="accent">Upload</Button>
      </FileTrigger>
      {files && <ul>
        {files.map((file, index) => (
          <li key={index}>{file}</li>
        ))}
      </ul>}
    </>
  );
}
```

## Media capture

To specify the media capture mechanism to capture media on the spot, pass `user` for the user-facing camera or `environment` for the outward-facing camera via the `defaultCamera` prop.

This behavior only works on mobile devices. On desktop devices, it will open the file system like normal. [Read more about capture](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Attributes/capture).

```tsx example
<FileTrigger defaultCamera="environment">
  <Button variant="accent">Open Camera</Button>
</FileTrigger>
````
